STAND FOR DISPLAYING SCARFS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 252,190, dated January 10, 1882.

Applicationfiled June 25,1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK -W. OOLLINs, of Moravia, in the county of Cayuga, and in the State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stands for Displaying Scarfs; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,makinga part of this specification, in which- I Figure 1 is a perspective view of my stand arranged for use in displaying one scarf. Fig. 2 is alike view of the same when in use, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the parts separated from each other and from the base.

Letters of like name and kind refer to like parts in each of the figures.

The design of my invention isto enable gentlemens ncckseari's and other like articles to be supported in such manner as to display them to the best advantage for sale; and to this end it consists in the construction and combination of the supporting-frame and sliding clamp with each other and with a. base, substantially as and for the purpose h'reinalter specified.

In the annexed drawings, A represents the supporting-frame of mystand,constructedfrom wire in the form of an arch, and having its ends secured within abase,B, from which said frame extends upward at a slight inclination from a vertical line.

Fitted upon and slidinglongitudinallyover the frame A is a double clamp, G, constructed from a wire that is placed horizontally across the face of said frame, and then bent once around each standard of the same, is then extended horizontally forward about one-half inch, and then carried in a curve inward and upward against andthen away from said stand- -ards, and is then doubled backward and carried downward to or near the lower onter angles of said clamp, where the ends of said wire are finally fastened. The arms of the clamp O bear against the standards of the frame A with sufficientforce to confine between them any light flexible article, while said clamp is adapted to slide longitudinally upon said frame, so as to enable its vertical position to be varied at will. I

The stand thusconstructed is ned as follows-viz: A scarf, D, is placed against the front side of the frame A with its band 01 extending around the upper end of the same, and its lower end confined between the clamp G and the standards of said frame, in which position said scarf is securely held without injury. The vertical adjustment of the clamp enables any length of scarf to be displayed. If desired, a number of the stands described may be secured within one base, so as to permit the display of a number of scart's at the same time, and to render more easy the plac- Having thus fully set. forth the nature and merits of my invention, what I claim as new 1s The hereinbeforedescribed stands for displaying scart's, consisting of the frame A, secured within the base B, and provided with the sliding clamp (J, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this June, 1881.
